Ram is bringing the street truck back in a big way with the 2027 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee, and now we know how much sting each version will carry. The lineup starts at $62,790 for the base Rumble Bee with the 5.7-liter HEMI V8, giving buyers a widebody, rear-tire-smoking performance truck without immediately jumping into six-figure territory. In an era where high-performance pickups have mostly leaned toward off-road capability, the Rumble Bee feels like a welcome return to pavement-focused attitude.
The entry Rumble Bee uses the 5.7-liter HEMI V8 rated at 395 horsepower, and while it is the least powerful model in the range, it still gets the visual presence and street-truck hardware that make the package interesting. Ram claims a 0-to-60 mph time of 6.1 seconds and a quarter-mile run of 14.6 seconds. It also features the ability to disconnect the front axle, which should make smoky rear-wheel-drive antics part of the experience.
Stepping up to the Rumble Bee 392 brings the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 with 470 horsepower and a starting price of $72,790. Ram says this version can hit 60 mph in 5.2 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in 13.2 seconds, making it a meaningful upgrade for buyers who want more muscle without going all the way to the supercharged model. A $10,000 Track Pack pushes the price to $82,790 and adds the more aggressive SRT-style front end, improved cooling, a 4.5-inch front splitter, rear wing, launch control, electronic locking rear differential, Bilstein adaptive dampers, Brembo brakes, and massive 325-section all-season tires.
At the top sits the Rumble Bee SRT, priced at $97,790 and powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8 producing 777 horsepower. It gets the same serious chassis, braking, aero, and cooling upgrades as the 392 Track Pack, but with an additional 307 horsepower under the hood. With full-time four-wheel drive and launch control, Ram claims the SRT can rip to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, run the quarter-mile in 11.6 seconds, and reach a top speed of 170 mph. That puts it in a very different league from the sport trucks of the past.
The base Rumble Bee is scheduled to reach dealerships in late 2026, while the 392 and SRT versions are expected to follow in the first half of 2027. What makes the lineup compelling is that Ram is not treating the Rumble Bee as one single nostalgia trim. It is giving buyers three levels of V8-powered street truck, from attainable HEMI attitude to nearly $100,000 supercharged madness. For those who missed the days when pickups could be built for the boulevard, the drag strip, and a little tire smoke instead of only rocks and mud, the Rumble Bee looks ready to bring that spirit back.
